Malicious Contact After Scoring (Fed Only)

[Tim C]

I am still amazed when an umpire says, "I'v never heard of FPSR!" -- Of course that same question does not affect me if it is from a rat.

But you are correct . . . runners are never required to slide (the play is NOT called "The Forced Slide Play Rule") and when they slide it must be legal.

If we combine that with the opportunity to slide or avoid it is pretty easy to interpret the rule.
